I don't think UA systems check or care if AC (code as IROP and) reissue on their own stock especially since this is revenue sharing joint venture.

This may require more than 2 hours on hold, and waiting 90 days though.
Airline is not required to refund PFCs as per 14 CFR § 158.45 as there is no "adjustment to the amount paid by the passenger" but it must remit all PFC collected as ticketed. CBP immigration/custom fee might be recoverable but expect to run into obstacles.
